About Ix Chel Midwifery

Ix Chel is the Mayan goddess of fertility, midwifery, and the moon—a fitting namesake for a practice rooted in honoring the ancient, powerful work of bringing new life into the world.

We started Ix Chel Midwifery because we believe every family deserves birth care that is personal, unhurried, and deeply respectful. Too often, the medical system treats pregnancy like an illness rather than the natural process it is. We wanted to offer something different.

Our approach combines evidence-based clinical skills with the warmth and intuition that comes from truly knowing our clients. We limit the number of families we serve at any given time so we can give each one our full attention—before, during, and after birth.

Serving the greater Austin area, we feel privileged to be part of such a vibrant, diverse community of growing families. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, we meet you where you are and help you feel confident every step of the way.

If you're looking for a midwife who will truly know you and your family—that's exactly who we are. Let's talk.
